Doing the super short version :

What went right?

– Couldn’t come up with something initially, so I JUST STARTED WITH SOMETHING. Sometimes you should do that and more ideas will come along while doing so.

– Others said they had fun playing it. Why? Because I made it the way I liked playing it myself!

What went wrong?

– I should’ve acknowledged EARLIER that I couldn’t come up with some clever idea.

– A lot of minor things you probably didn’t even notice 😉

The End

Uploaded the time-lapse for ‘My Mini Castle’!

Link to the game here

This Ludum Dare was my second time and my entry My Mini Castle has gained more than a 100 ratings!

On top of that it was one of SonnyBone‘s picks for his Rad Game Roundup!

Now I was already really thrilled by all this, but today I found out that my game was reviewed at www.IndieGameMag.com!

You can read it here!

I can’t express well enough how excited I am!

At the very least I wan’t to thank everyone for playing, rating and commenting!

And (hopefully), see you next Ludum Dare

I have made a port for Android devices of my entry: My Mini Castle!

However, I did have to change the controls (obviously) and I balanced the game a bit more so it’s basically not the same game as the original entry.. But it might still be fun to try out

And I am happy to tell you that I’m the continuing development aiming for the app store and google play store! 😀

Note: I haven’t actually tested the latest version so it may contain errors/bugs…

Starting the second day

Still got a LOT to do…

I thought I’d share this with you guys:

First off, I’m not saying that using other games as an inspiration source is bad practice. After all, most good ideas come from a mixture of others. But personally I like to sometimes use different media for inspiration and I did this Ludum Dare.

The Badjau

This is a video segment from Human Planet in which you see the Badjau, or sea gypsies. They live on boats on the sea, rarely going ashore and when doing so getting “land-sick”. How about that huh.

The father hunts fish on the sea bed and is capable of holding his breath for about 5 minutes. I could tell you a lot more but you should just go watch it 😉

Results

And here is the result (my entry) with a gameplay footy by caranha as I can’t find any good pictures atm ^^
